Create a linux binary without Docker image

[ptondereau]

What happened?

Hello 👋🏻

For some reason, I can't use the Docker image because I need to compile a private PHP extension with SPC (which works well with SPC).
I see in the documentation that ./build-static.sh should also work for Linux host, but unfortunately, it stops at this step: https://github.com/dunglas/frankenphp/blob/main/build-static.sh#L305-L312

I've made a reproducer with my fork here to show you all related errors: https://github.com/ptondereau/frankenphp/actions/runs/13431813021/job/37525204733

From my POV, I think these errors are maybe related to SPC building PHP with musl instead of using glibc in a Linux environment, but not sure 😅

Indeed, to build a static binary, the host must musl for now.

Ok I think it's related to crazywhalecc/static-php-cli#376

For static-php-cli, it supports multiple distributions by default. When it detects that the environment is not musl (alpine), it will automatically download the pre-built musl-toolchain for normal installation. For frankenphp, if we want to build in a non-musl environment, we only need to use the same musl-toolchain when using embed at the end, but in any case, we must modify the build-static.sh file.

I'm currently working on making a GNU based static binary available, but it's still a work in progress, and it’s another topic.
